JWT has promoted New York CEO Peter Sherman to CEO of North America. He’ll take over for David Eastman, who is stepping down, the agency said.
“Since Peter joined JWT earlier this year, he has helped spark renewed momentum in the New York office,” said Bob Jeffrey, chairman-CEO of JWT Worldwide, in a statement. “This promotion is a reflection of his drive and effective leadership. There’s no clearer evidence of the momentum shift in New York than the office’s recent run of new-business wins — Energizer Personal Care, a Google assignment and, last week, Puma. Peter has the right mix of dedication and creativity — a true JWT leader — and I am delighted to see him take on expanded responsibilities in the region.”
Mr. Sherman will oversee JWT offices in Atlanta, Chicago and Canada, as well as Digitaria, Lunchbox, JWT Inside, Casa and SCPF. He’ll also oversee JWT’s stake in the WPP shopper and activation company Geometry Global.
